Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Software and Control Panels : Need to choose control panel

[Jerry B Goode]

Im new to this, please bear with me.
I am getting ready to start a site and need to choose a host.
I want to have the ability to have members upload music and a messageboard. I'm guessing my requirements are ;
12,000 to 15,000 meg
1 gig bandwidth
Since I am new, I want to choose a host server that is compatable with Frontpage. It is the only thing I am familiar with, and my members would probably want to use it as well.
Are there potential problems using a non windows server and trying to use Frontpage ?
I have read on this board about this being a possible issue with some hosts.
I am not familiar with C panel or plesk or whatever.
Are there sites to demo (Try) these programs ?

Frontpage shuld work for you as long as the host has it setup properly. Even the WIndows version can get a little "quirky" on you

Plesk Linux demo: http://www.swsoft.com/en/products/plesk8/demo/
Plesk Windows demo: http://www.swsoft.com/en/products/plesk76win/demo/

Good Luck!
